    In this case, the drinking wins out. You've earned it.

    Three teenagers inside being goofy. So I came out here: CA13AD37-31D7-46B9-8555-91161AADB1E1.jpeg
    Having one cold beer in the peaceful quiet. This is my workshop I built in my barn a while back. Don’t think I ever posted it up. It’s got too much “stuff” in it right now and needs to be organized. But it has turned out gooder. I will eventually put a vice out here as well. Currently just using the one in my garage. I hung the work bench on the wall very sturdy like so in case I decide I want to pour a concrete floor in here or even put a wood floor down it will be an easy task. It’s a nice place to get away to. Currently a little chili though. :rofl: :lol:

    My father-in-law left me his nice Craftsman compressor. He knew I didn’t have one yet. Thank you Bruce! I’ll think of him each time I use it or even see it. I used it the other day to help a guy out with his trailer tire.

    Those auger anchors are definitely worth it. Even with those, since my ground is usually at least damp just below the surface (house was built on fill in a swamp), my tent garage has moved from its original spot from high winds. It even jumped over rebar that was driven just behind the front "legs" - placed there just to help keep it from moving. But, if I had not used the augers, that garage would have been gone the first winter and it is still doing its job.

    When I bought this house, it came with one of those quansit hut type tent garages. It was anchored by 6 augers and I was only able to get one of them out of the ground. I needed to cut them all below the surface when I removed the tent. My ground here is really rocky, so I should be good I hope.

    Nerve test. I believe it is electromyleogram or something like that. They stick you with needles to see if some muscles react. Trying to find out if I can regain use of my hand.

    Had one back in 2017. Carpal tunnel in both wrists due to a fall at work. I don't land like I used to!

    Caffeine going in. I slept in this morning until 7:30! Must of needed it. I went to bed at 9:30 last night. o_O Sleeping has been good most nights but a couple nights a week I end up not getting enough. So I catch up on the good ones, if I can. Some snow this morning, about an inch I guess. I need to enclose the porch today or tomorrow. Late on that!

    Hey folks. My youngest daughter has been hoping for her first phone, and we have decided to get her one. We want her to have an I-Phone like her siblings and we do. The stores are currently selling the Apple I-phones 11 and 12s. We don’t want her to spend $400 or more on a 10,11, or 12. Wal-Mart was selling the 10s but local store has none left and want you to just buy an 11. It appears like we can get an 8 on line cheaper. But I’m wondering how would a phone you buy online get hooked up to our existing account and added to our bill. How do they give you a phone number to that phone? Card in it? Anyone explain?

    Maybe I should try Best Buy. That is where we bought latest phones for other two kids. They just do it all right there.
